EPICA: The Quantum Enigma Details And Olympic Appearance Revealed

Marking the beginning of a new era of modernity, heaviness, and no compromises, Dutch symphonic sextet EPICA are set to release their sixth studio album, The Quantum Enigma, this spring in North America, via Nuclear Blast.

“More than any of our previous albums, this album is a group effort,” states the band. “The only goal we had in mind: creating the album that could lift EPICA up to the next level. Every detail finds its way into a perfectly balanced mix and makes EPICA sound raw and overwhelming.”

Teaming up with producer Joost van den Broek (REVAMP, AFTER FOREVER), The Quantum Enigma was recorded at the Sandlane Recording Facilities in The Netherlands and mixed by Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, HATESPHERE).

Creating stunning artwork to accompany the ideas behind The Quantum Enigma’s lyrics is longtime collaborator Stephan Heilemann, whose cover art is part of a bigger picture.

On February 14th, Czech Olympic figure skater Michal Březina performed to EPICA’s Classical Conspiracy version of “In The Hall Of The Mountain King” at the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi.
